ARCHIVED - 3rd December, Bryan Adams in concert in Murcia; SOLD OUT

The Palacio de Deportes in Murcia is one of only 5 dates in Spain on the Shine the Light tour

Bryan Adams, the Canadian singer who set a new record in 1991 by spending 16 weeks at Number One in the UK charts with “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You”, is playing live at the Palacio de Deportes in the city of Murcia on 3rd December, when he will be performing a host of his well-known numbers from the 80s and 90s as well as more recent material.

The artist’s “Shine a Light” tour in Europe during June and December 2019 includes only five dates in Spain, the others being in Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla and Bilbao, and this will be Adams’ first gig in the city of Murcia following a previous appearance in San Javier as long ago as 1997.

“Shine A Light” is Bryan Adams’ 14th studio album, and reached number 2 in the British charts as well as number 1 in his native Canada, but even that is nothing in comparison with the lasting success of “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You”, which he not only performed but also wrote in collaboration with Michael Kamen and Robert John "Mutt" Lange, earning himself a Grammy for the Best Song Written for Visual Media (the film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves). Other hits still heard frequently over 20 years include “Heaven”, "Summer Of ‘69", "Please forgive me", “Run to you” and of course his memorable collaboration with Rod Stewart and Sting on "All for Love".

As well as being a multi-talented musician, Bryan Adams is well known as a photographer, with dozens of exhibitions under his belt in Europe and North America, and a keen activist in various fields. The Bryan Adams Foundation aims to advance education and learning opportunities for children and young people worldwide, and other causes to benefit from his support since he opened the US transmission of Live Aid in 1985 include the Prince’s Trust, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the victims of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, the "Reach Out to Asia" campaign, the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, the Hope Foundation, the NSPCC, Children in Need and a peaceful solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. That so many of these are based in the UK could be explained by the fact that his parents were both from England.

He is also a constant animal rights activist who stopped eating meat and dairy products in 1989, pointing to this decision as the reason for his continuing energy and creativity, qualities which will doubtless be in evidence during his visits to Europe.

During his "Shine a light tour" Adams has teamed up with shipping company DHL for an environmental project in which the rock singer will ensure that one tree is planted for every ticket sold. Having sold over 65 million discs worldwide he can safely be included among the most successful artists of all time, and a packed house and the consequent planting of thousands more trees are expected at the Palacio de Deportes in Murcia (capacity 6,000) on 3rd December.
